I was at Wal Mart and noticed some Travel System boxes stacked on the end of an aisle with a big sign for $125. I noticed immediately that the boxes were faded, beaten up and just scruffy looking. They were an old style "Classic Pooh" fabric. My friend had this for her 6 year old son so I knew they were old.
The manufacture date on the first box was June 2008. I asked to speak to a manager and kindly explained that they were too old to sell etc. he challenged me and asked why... I explained that they've probably been stored in a hot warehouse etc. and were very likely to be completely unsafe to use. He AGREED that they had been in a hot warehouse (we're in central Florida) but he was reluctant to take them off the shelf. He said he'd check his "recall list".
I want to call and report it but I feel like a busy body, I guess Graco would be the best people to call? This manager clearly didn't care and thought I was talking garbage. It feels wrong not to do something... Families on a budget are going to unknowingly buy expired infant seats if not.
Oh, and I took pictures of both the boxes and DOM label.
